Covid/Flu injection??? ......decision made.
I have been umming n arhing over this.
15 minutes ago, out of the blue, our GP turns up at the door.
She had been to inject our neighbour so gave us a knock.
1 minute, all done.
MrsD is refusing hers.

I have refused it as well. Thanks but no thanks. Enough is enough.

Good morning......well it is here. I have coffee and I'm sat looking out of my American cabin*** window, dappled sunshine and deep shadows falling through the pine trees. A family of black deer just sauntered by, a group of turkeys are foraging and a very obliging humming bird has been hovering just outside the window. Life is good...........well until my American friend said "when you pick up those logs watch out for black widows - just shake 'em off!" 😱😱

We're on the edge of Yosemite for a few days.

*** cabin. Living area larger than the ground floor of my house, three double rooms, two ensuite and beds which would house a small family.........I needed a map, compass and Whahoo to find Mrs P this morning.

Good morning from a dark damp Coventry, Lunch then bingo this afternoon and a fella is coming round to repair the shed roof, the fella who did the roof in the summer wouldn't come back to sort out the problem, ignored all calls and messages then blanked me on social media, so I've had to get someone else in.

Bin day….ah yes….ours was yesterday….around this time, I heard some activity outside & remembered we had forgot to roll ours out. Went outside to do it (up a short shared driveway).
As I reached the end, the bin lorry came back round our close - they had already been 😱
They saw me, pulled up and emptied our quite-full bin 😎
Never having a word said against our refuse operators: lovely people 💪

Beers with pals this evening at the small local brewery. Mustn’t grumble 🍻

TBH that WAS my decision until the Doc knocked on the door and I thought 'what the hell'. ...... definitely will not bother with any more.

Morning. Another very mild morning. I walked up the hill then jogged back down the other side and back home. Still struggling to keep my heart rate as low as I would like, but I think my problem is my legs don't work as well as they should after my two bad bouts of sciatica so I need to expend more energy than normal just with the effort of running so I'll just need to keep it as low as I can. I can't cope with stopping and walking several times just to keep it below a certain limit.

Our bins are still out as the lorry broke down yesterday so they should get to us today.

Off for a soak now.

Well.......My body went into shock yesterday evening (after my 2 jabs). Whole body was shaking uncontrollably and I couldn't even hold a glass.
Eventually I got an ibuprofen down.
This morning it all seems like a nightmare.

Morning all

Another day of stuff to do.
Had email from agents saying there had been some progress but solicitors awaiting documents.
This house buying/selling process is like wading through glue - there must be an easier way!

Morning all from a damp dull Coventry . Well for me the high point of day has already come and gone, it’s our bin day too and they have already been an done it 10 mins ago while I was still in bed 😂😀.
I will just have to cope with the excitement of paying bills and cleaning the bath room instead. 😂.
I was hoping to go for a ride this morning but I hate riding on wet roads, to many years riding to work and feeling the water very slowly working it’s way in to my shoe covers .
Stay safe and good day everyone .

Its lovely here at the moment. Must be 17 or 18 deg. Nice and sunny as well. We have blue skies and sunshine but my weather ap says to expect showers on and off.

I am pottering in my workroom.

In that case, get the boat ready.
